"There are several 'business', 'corporate', or 'professional' desktop operating systems on the market today, all aimed at seeping into large corporations that already use GNU/Linux on servers. It's a pretty good plan, and most of the operating systems in this arena are pretty good - not perfect, but pretty good. Xandros has had such a product for a while now, and it's always been near the top of the list in terms of features and quality. The market is now mature and the products are more competitive, though, and the product formerly known as Xandros Business Desktop, while still a good operating system, isn't keeping up with the industry's pace."

Well, Xandros never really gave me the impression that they were very involved with the rest of the Linux community. That and the fact that you pretty much have to look for them. My boss who's been in IT for 23 years, and is the decision maker for all things IT within our company in North America, has never even heard of Xandros. I think that kinda says something about how well they get they're name out there. Even though they may be a commercial Linux the same rules apply as the regular community driven projects. If a distro has a lot of face time with its user and developer base then it will thrive; however, if nobody even know the system exists then how well could it possibly do? Hell, the only reason I know as much about Xandros as I do is because of OSNews.com
